I’d pay $500 for a 16GB/1TB first gen m1 mini to use as a devonthink server. The lack of upgradability makes it a tough sell.

Don't get me wrong, the m1 is a great mobile chip but it's embarrassing for a desktop. Some here will claim it's unfair to compare a $700 desktop with a $3-4000 machine, but the truth is that when comparing Apple's flagship desktop with a mid-tier high-end workstation the m1 fails whenever it gets a multitasked or gpu workload thrown at it. And yeah, the m1 mini is Apple's flagship desktop right now.
The M1 Mini is not Apple's flagship desktop. And it is hardly embarrassing.

As an aside, for example, my M1 MBA runs X-Plane just fine at excellent rates, and with external flight controls.

8GB models always go on sale because they're not worth buying for most people. Please, please, warn people before they buy and waste their money.

I bought an 8GB mini a couple of weeks ago. Mainly use it as a digital music front end for my stereo to stream and play local music, and some other occasional light stuff. Running Tidal, Music, Safari (just 3-4 tabs open) plus a couple of small utilities, it was already using over 7 GB of RAM. I returned it and paid the Apple Tax for the 16GB upgrade. (Refurb so only $170 for the extra 8GB at least.) Memory usage only goes up over time and starting at 88% of available... not good.
